Fairfax County Renovations: What Do You Want From Your Master Bath Remodel?

Times have changed. People change, as do their needs and wants. Technology, techniques, building materials – all of these things have evolved considerably, keeping the renovation business lively, design-focused, and exciting!

However, one thing that hasn’t changed much is what people want from theirmaster bathroom remodel. Adapting to stages of life, getting more functionality, adding new conveniences, and making the most out of available space are still the top reasons Fairfax County homeowners decide to remodel their master bathroom.

While most of our clients tend to keep the original footprint of the room, some choose to open up walls and enlarge the space. Reclaiming a hall closet or underutilized space in a spare bedroom are just a couple of the strategies we leverage to deliver on your vision.

Some of the conversations we will have revolve around whether the current layout is working for you, and if the fixtures themselves—tub, shower, vanity, storage—are supporting your lifestyle.

Trends in master bath remodelshave not changed a whole lot over the years. People often want to get rid of their tub in favor of a larger shower, but some choose a freestanding tub. Multiple shower jets or double shower heads are popular, and double vanities are pretty standard.

Essentially, what people usually want out of their master bath remodel is an upgraded space that stands out from the rest of the bathrooms in the home. For example, you may choose to tile the master bathroom, setting it apart from your hall bathroom or powder room, which is not tiled.

Working within the existing footprint but rearranging the features without changing the plumbing.

Expanding into the space occupied by the tub. Sometimes this is challenging, however, because many homes of a certain era were designed with a large window over the tub, making it difficult to build a shower there.

Alternately, there is a fantastic flooring product by Armstrong calledAlterna. Alterna is an engineered flooring product that retains warmth, so it’s much more comfortable to walk on than any other kind of tile. Alterna tile is also easy to care for, and it comes in many styles, sizes, colors, and finishes to complement your décor.
